and i doubt when postal 3 comes out that we will get any news other then "steam still not planned for linux"

I doubt that when Postal3 comes out there will be anything todo with Steam for linux. It isn't need
the Source engine does not rely on Steam, steam is just a digital distribution mechanism and it would make no sense for Valve to port Steam to Linux UNLESS they could put anything onto it (bar postal3 and maybe U3...)

If however Postal3 goes well for linux (so plz linux user get it from somewhere to show you were after linux-native [ie wait till it is on sale and there is a linux client actually d/lable [or on disk] and from somewhere so yr sale counts as a linux sale as opose to a windows sale) then maybe with the SOURCE engine with linux runtimes we may get HL2 and CSS and then possibly the floodgates will open for other source-based games and thus STEAM and finally we may get other games

yet again

An Engine update has broken GMod  so if you try to play right now it will crash on startup. These occasional breakages are the price we pay for being on the latest engine  which is exactly where we want to be to stay up to date with it.

It looks to be a simple interface update, so Ill grab the latest code and update GMod with it today. This will also bring the L4D content update.

"An Engine update has broken GMod ", that means the actual game, not the server, there is no mention of the server in that blog.

"And Linux has FINALLY compiled.. phew! Working on the depot to ship to Valve now!"
Read that carefully, servers for Linux would have already been out and compiled fine, he says "FINALLY" as if it's never been done aka the game engine itself.
